The speed averages 25-30 megs down (about what HughesNet delivers) and it is down at least once a day, even if briefly, with 12 hour+ outages at least once a month. The list of excuses for outages is long: -- It's cloudy and the site runs on solar panels. (Why don't you have generators?) -- We're being vandalized by competitors. (Ever heard of a fence?) -- It's the weekend and we didn't know the storm would be so bad. -- (Usually on Friday evenings.) We can't get anyone out till Monday. -- And on and on. You get the picture. My opinion? This company doesn't have the necessary capital to provide reliable service. I don't expect perfection. No company has 100% uptime. But this is the worst I've experienced since the early days of the internet here. As you can see, I have ordered the hardware from Elon Musk's Starlink (a division of SpaceX: www.starlink.com). Half the price of Advanced Wireless, Impulse, and others with reported speeds of up to 384 megs down. That's more than Spectrum gets in cities! The people at Advanced Wireless are nice. I've spoken to them all at least once, it seems. Best of luck to them going forward!

Having been a customer of Mitec's internet service since 2015, my innards turned to ice when I was notified in 2024 that the company had "spun off the Internet department into its own standalone business," along with reassurances that the high quality of service would continue uninterrupted (my paraphrase). And then the troubles began. The internet speeds were slower and slower. I'm self-employed and work at home, often through the weekend, so the slow speeds were noticeably causing me work delays. I was in denial, though. Then there came what I could not ignore: a substantial outage, during which I was unable to hold scheduled meetings with two clients. Afterwards, customers received a multi-paragraph 430-word email from the general manager, expressing his belief in "honesty and integrity," promoting the dedication and commitment of the team, explaining the outage, and promising "a credit off next month's bill" as a thank-you for supporting a local business. Anyone can say anything, and you may have guessed from the foreshadowing that there was no credit on my next month's bill. Was I surprised? Yes, because I had been used to the previous excellent customer service and No, because obvious. I emailed to ask for the credit on February 16. I emailed again on March 3 and received a response on March 4. How much was the discount? A whopping $6.49, when I lost 3 billable hours that, trust me, added up to quite a bit more, and had to rearrange the following week's schedule to make them up. It bothers me to drop a local business in favor of an immense corporation, a corporation that I personally loathe for many many reasons. Originally I was on board with Mitec primarily because it was a small local business, even though there were other, cheaper alternatives. And until this change, I was very happy with Mitec, I was okay with the cost because it was dependable, the technicians were always fantastic, and the customer service was nothing short of amazing. I recommended them whenever the subject of ISPs came up. When this other provider came knocking, offering $500 in gift cards, along with a monthly savings of $14.99 for speeds that tested as much, much faster, I emailed Lytwave asking if there was anything they could do, could they get me higher speeds? Failing that, could they match this other company's price? There was, as you might have guessed, no response. I switched. The last day I used Lytwave was September 30, 2025. I meant to cancel but forgot. On November 7, I wrote to cancel my service. I received a response on November 10 that included a cancellation form for me to fill out and this note: "The form requires you to select a termination date at least 30 days out, but if you prefer an earlier date, please enter it in the 'Reason' section, and we'll do our best to accommodate your request." I filled out the form and returned it within minutes. Did Lytwave accommodate or even remember my request? Remember the foreshadowing. No, they did not. In fact, they claimed that my service was "active and used" during those two months when the reality was that I had stopped using Mitec on September 30 and unplugged my router a week or two later, and so had not used the service for all of October, November, and the 10 days for which I was billed in December. Remember the general manager's proclamation of his belief in "honesty and integrity"? Did I pay? Yes, all of $136.41 with the tacked-on late fees. So much for doing their best to accommodate my request. Let this be a cautionary tale. If a small local business wants to keep its customers, it needs to provide good customer service. In contrast, last week I needed to call customer service at the big loathesome corporation. My call went through, I talked to an agent, he solved the problem, and that was that. I used my $500 in gift cards for groceries and Christmas presents, and this year, I'll save $179.88 on internet service.

It's been almost 12 years and I finally have internet worth paying for. I felt hopeless with no other options until I heard of the WiFi services. After contacting all the WiFi services I had heard of I was still feeling hopeless. The only way to get service to my home would cost a ton of money up front. I mean $1000 plus just to get signal. I was referred by a friend to Surfnet. A company I had never called because I didn't know they existed. Sure enough they could get clear line of sight to their towers and now I have an amazing internet service and it was $179 for the install and equipment I needed. And $79 a month for service. I can stream and all that with no worries. Thank you Surfnet. Installation looks clean and neat and the guys were polite and friendly. No more big satellite dish that cost way to much and really just sucked. My kids can game. We can stream movies. And we don't have to monitor every thing we do because we have unlimited data.

The worst customer service I have ever dealt with, and the second worst (after Hughes net) internet service provider for areas outside of cable service (spectrum).

After years of poor service and frequent service interruptions, I made the switch to starlink as soon as it was available. I've been trying to get an accurate final bill from Surfnet for over three months, with no luck. They just keep trying to bill me for $529 literally every two days (at 12:01 am) when all I owe is $140. I am not getting a correct final bill or even a call back or email despite dozens of attempts.

How could they improve? Have an expedited counter for drop off equipment. If you had a designated counter person for this, it would take 5 minutes per person or less. On top of this there's a woman standing at the counter doing absolutely nothing and then takes a personnel call and keep telling people to check in on the front tablet and wait. She keeps telling everyone 30-40 minutes to wait when there is only two people on the wait screen. No concept of how long it really takes. I think I will look into dropping Spectrum all together. Just a very inefficient company that creates frustration at every turn. They just sent us new receiver boxes and tells us we have two weeks before the old boxes are disconnected. We will lose all shows on our DVR because Spectrum is forcing this change. No options for the customer to keep it. Ridiculous. If you are considering Spectrum for the first time, do your homework and find a provider that has better commitment to the customer, because this company doesn't. Cheers!

How does that make sense? She wasn't helping anyone. Just browsing on her laptop during the entire time. Maybe come up with a process to take the devices from people of have people drop off in a box and state on the iPad that they actually turned it in? Or scan in the device? Something other than this hassle. It is useless to have a process that doesn't even work. You guys are lucky you have fast internet or you wouldn't have any customers.
